The Civil Society Scaling-Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CS-SUNN) is a non-governmental,
non-profit making alliance, made up of organizations with a shared vision to transform
Nigeria into a country where every citizen has food and is nutrition secured. We pursue
this lofty goal by engaging government and non-state actors to raise awareness, sustain
commitment and actions to effectively tackle under-nutrition in Nigeria. The alliance was
birthed in November, 2013 at Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria and formally inaugurated on
the 7 th of August, 2014.
